The applicants sought judicial review of the Minister's decision to close the Collège des Grands Lacs, a francophone college.
The Divisional Court dismissed the application primarily due to the applicants' undue delay of 29 months in perfecting the application, which caused significant prejudice.
In the alternative, the court found that the Minister did not breach the unwritten constitutional principle of protection of minorities, as the college was failing and alternative francophone education was arranged.
The court also held that the Minister had the statutory authority to close the college and the decision was not patently unreasonable.
